Using sdhc card from boot

My Eee PC 901 runs Ubuntu. I have no hard disk, but just an internal sd card, and an additional inserted sdhc card in the sd card slot.
I wanted to have all my /home stuff on the external card, so that in case of crash, I can just buy a new card. The internal card is more difficult to replace, so I want to use the external card for whatever possible.

As the ext card has my /home directory, I need it to be available on boot.

With lsusb I found the details of my card, and then added an udev rule

jan@eee901:~/svn/hydra_test$ more /etc/udev/rules.d/01-jankester.rules
#ID_SERIAL_SHORT=058F63356336
#ID_FS_UUID=dd4cb63c-0329-4dc6-8ca8-c2e68b9d233e
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{serial}=="058F63356336", NAME="SDHC", OPTIONS+="last_rule", RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/SDHC"

Now I added entry in fstab:
/dev/SDHC /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0

Interactive selenium testing

The problem Location of elements When I started using selenium, I noticed that it is not easy to do it right. First you start with IDE, but you notice, that the IDE does not really record a lot. In a next step I added firebug, and started analyzing how the elements where to be located: either by tag, id, class etc. Junit testcase With this information I could then create my junit testcase: @Test public void testMapView() throws Exception { //assert that we cannot see submenu of MapCreator elem = driver.findElement(By.className(SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU)); String style = elem.getAttribute("style"); assertTrue("Element must have style display off.",style.matches("display: none.*")); logger.debug("Located element " + SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU); //find menu and click on mapview elem = driver.findElement(By.id(SeleniumConstants.MAP_CONTROL)); actions.moveToElement(elem).click().perform(); //assert su...
